Chicken Quesadillas


This is one of my most favorite meals. These quesadillas are tasty and pretty easy to make. They don't require a lot of spices, and you can use the leftovers for quite a few days. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 C. rice
2 C. water
1 tsp. salt

2 large chicken breasts
1 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. chile powder
2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (Optional. Add more or less depending on how spicy you like it.)
salt and pepper to taste

shredded cheddar cheese
flour tortillas
salsa (optional)

Bring water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Add the salt and the rice. Let the rice simmer covered for about 20 minutes or until it has absorbed all the water and is soft to eat.

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add chicken and cook stirring often. Once chicken is cooked all the way through add chile powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Fry for about 2 minutes until spices are fragrant.

Top tortialls with rice, chicken, cheese. Cook quesadilla on a skillet. Add salsa if desired.
